I had to quite taking because of its central nervous system side effects. What you are experiencing is not unusual. Here is a list of side effects. Adverse reactions may include dryness of the mouth; urinary hesitancy and retention; blurred vision; tachycardia; palpitations; mydriasis; increased ocular tension; loss of taste; headache; nervousness; drowsiness; weakness; fatigue; dizziness; insomnia; nausea; vomiting; impotence; constipation; bloated feeling; abdominal pain; diarrhea; allergic reactions or drug idiosyncrasies; urticaria and other dermal manifestations; ataxia; speech disturbance; some degree of mental confusion and/or excitement (especially in elderly persons); short-term memory loss; hallucinations; and decreased sweating. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Hyoscyamine (a.k.a. the miracle drug) questions       #357907 - 04/20/10 10:07 AM Edit Reply Quote TahitiTLO Reged: 10/21/09 Posts: 2 Loc: Knoxville, TN I've never posted anything on here before but I've read people's posts for over a year now. I've been on and off Hyoscyamine since July of last year. It definitely makes me tired and I'm always thirsty when I take it. Usually I take one in the morning. It almost makes me feel like it starts my digestive system or something. Usually through the day I just use fiber supplements. I try to follow the diet, so I'm pretty stable now. It does help knowing that I have them if I need them. Hope my input helps.

I'd really hate to be on this stuff the rest of my life although it is wonderful to finally be pain free. Thanks!! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | >> (show all)
